USA - The Land of Opportunity

The United States of America has long been viewed as the land of opportunity for millions of immigrants from all over the world.  One of the USA’s largest ethnic groups, the Hispanic-American group refers to emigrants and their descendants from Central American countries such as Mexico, Cuba, and others. According to census statistics, the Hispanic population in the USA is increasing every year.

Languages in USA

In such a large country, many languages are used on a daily basis. In fact, over 330 different languages are spoken by residents. Thirty of the fifty states have designated English as the official language by their state constitution. In fact, more than 80% of the population is native in American English.

In the state of Hawaii, Hawaiian is declared as the official language. The state of Louisiana officially uses French as a second administrative language, while New Mexico uses Spanish. In most parts of the US, schools, public service facilities, businesses and organizations provide services in Spanish, especially in major cities and regions adjacent to Mexico.

History of USA

The USA has a long and varied history. It was first occupied by the Native Americans and then colonized by Europeans who followed the voyages of Christopher Columbus starting in 1492.

The English dominated the East Coast, and by the 1770s, Thirteen Colonies containing 2.5 million people had been established.  But American self-government and British government were at odds and led to war in 1775 and the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

In 1789 the Constitution became the basis for the federal government, and George Washington the first president. European influence and a centralized government led to the creation of the first political parties in the 1790s, and later a second war for independence in 1812.
